Is anyone else having the issue where the game won't save at all (save block or via the emu?) Every time I load up, it starts from the beginning which obviously defeats the purpose of playing this game. Does anybody know how to get around this>
did you try another emulator?
did you try on PC?
I played that game on PC, with Zsnes, and it worked fine (both sram and save state).
even if sram doesn't work with your rom (because it has an error?), the emulator should allows you to use memory save state.
if it doesn't, it's an emulator bug. (deducted by logic only, I didn't try both combination on wii myself)
looking at the filename above, if you have "[!]" it means it has been verified as a good dump.
if you have a simple marioRPG.smc, you should try another rom.
Holy cow, thanks for the responses everybody lol
@Durelle 4.3.7, and yeah other games seem to be saving just fine. I just took a snapshot file, I'll try that to see if it'll load.
@Dodain47 Both Load and Save are set to SRAM, so I'm thinking it might just be a super old version of the ROM, like post-fixes. Knowing my buddy I got it from he probably downloaded the first available ROM when it was first around, he's old school like that.
@the_randomizer 4.3.7
@Trash_Bandatcoot Nice! If this snapshot attempt doesn't work I'll try that, that's just good to know for future reference. Pretty clever idea! And SNEX9x should theoretically recognize that as a save? (Just so I'm clear, just save a blank Notepad file with the same name as the ROM?)
